Definition
When adjectives and
adverbs are used in comparisons, they take differnt forms. The form an
adjective or adverb takes depends on how many things are being compared. The
different forms of comparison are called degrees of comparison.
1.
Possitive Degree
Of an adjective in comparison is the
adjective in its simple form. It is used to denote the more existence of some
quality of what we speak about. It is used when no comparison is made.

as + adjective (kata sifat) + as
not so + adjective (kata sifat) + as
the same + noun (kata benda) + as
|
Note :
Using not so only
to sentence negative, and as can in
use to sentence positive, negative and interrogative.
a)
Degree of Equality
Positive degree is used to compare two things which
are equal in status or same quality.
Note : Here the adjective in positive form is used
with conjuction;
as +
adjective + as
Example :
A grape is as
delicious as a banana.
Ayu is as pretty as Tina.
Dimas is as big as Leo.
Diamond is as
expensive as silver.
Siska is as rich as
Ani.
b)
Degree of Inequality
Positive degree is also used to compare two things
which are not equal & do not have same status.
Note : Here the adjective in
positive form is joined with the conjunction not so ‐ as to express inequality.
Not so+
adjective + as
Example :
Gold
is not so useful as Iron.
Hindi
is not so difficult as Sanskrit.

2.
Comparative Degree
Denotes the existence of a higher degree of the
quality than the positive. It is used when two things (or two sets of things)
are compared.
Note : Here the adjectives of comparative degree are
followed by “than”, thus this kind of comparison is called Comparative degree.
Example :
This building is taller than any
other building.

River Nile in Africa is longer than river Ganga
in India.
The peaks of Himalayas are higher than any other
mountain peaks in India.
Hotel Taj is bigger than Hotel
Meridian in Mumbai.
3.
Superlative Degree
Denotes the existence of the highest degree of the
quality. It is used when more than two things are compared.
Note : Here the adjective in superlative degree is
preceded by the, thus such sentences are said to be in Superlative degree .
Example :
Rose is the most beautiful flower.
Johny is the kindest of all.
Brown is the strongest man of
all.
Heri is the most intelligent of the
three boys.
Mount Everest is the highest peak in the
world.
